Young Inspiring Explorers™ Worsley Weekend
21 -22 November 2020
Frank Worsley was a famous explorer who joined Sir Ernest Shackleton on his incredible adventures in Antarctica more than 100 years ago.
In November this year, Antarctic Heritage Trust is offering 20 students from Canterbury a place on the Worsley Weekend.
The weekend will encourage and inspire 21st century explorers to step outside their comfort zone and face challenges head-on by connecting them to the extraordinary life of Frank Worsley and his most notable feat of navigating the Endurance expedition to safety after the ship was crushed by ice floes on its way to Antarctica.
